Vers:
E5 C5
Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
G5 A5
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive
G5 A5
His body's decomposing in containers tonight
C5
In an abandoned building where
E5 C5
A squatter's made a mural of a Mexican girl
G5 A5
With fifteen cans of spray paint in a chemical swirl
G5 A5
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world
C5
Four winds blowing through her hair
Omk:
A5 D5 A5 D5
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
C5 G5 C5 G5
She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed
A5
She caves
E5 , C5 , G5 , A5 , G5 , A5 , C5
Vers:
E5 C5
The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qur'an is mute
G5 A5
If you burn them all together you'd get close to the truth
G5 A5
Still they're pouring over sanskrit on the ivy league moons
C5
While shadows lengthen in the sun
E5 C5
Cast on a school of meditation built to soften the times
G5 A5
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
G5 A5
It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines
C5
Four winds, cry until it comes
Omk:
A5 D5
And it's the song of man
A5 D5
Slouching towards Bethlehem
C5 G5 C5 G5
A heart just can't contain all of that empty space
A5 D5
It breaks, it breaks, (it breaks)
E5 , C5 , E5 , C5 , E5 , C5 , D5
Vers:
E5 C5
Well, I went back, I rent a Cadillac, a company jet
G5 A5
Like a newly orphaned refugee, retracing my steps
G5 A5
All the way to Cassadega to commune with the dead
C5
They said, "You'd better look alive"
E5 C5
And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
G5 A5
In the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused east
G5 A5
I buried my ballast, I made my peace
C5
With four winds, levelling the pines
Omk:
A5 D5 A5 D5
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
C5 G5 C5 G5
She just can't remain with all that outer space
A5 D5 A5 D5
She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves.
E5
